'The Courage to be Disliked' by Ichiro Kishimi….Translated into Arabic

The Arab Culture Center has recently released an Arabic translation of "The Courage to be Disliked," a book by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga.

The book, translated by Mustapha Al Waruajily, revolves around human development, and how a person should act in his life, regardless of what people think of him.

To achieve success, a human being needs courage.

"Under a provocative title that contradicts with everything we have learned since our childhood, this valuable, easy-to-understand, deep book explains how we can unleash the power we have inside to become the person of our dreams, with no regard to others' opinion or admiration," the publisher writes in the introduction.

"Based on Alfred Adler's theories and philosophy on courage, the two authors created an exciting dialogue between a young man and a philosopher, during which the latter explains to his student how each one of us can decide the path of his life, without being hindered by past experiences, and others' expectations," the publisher added.

"It's a thinking method that liberates us from the depths, allows us to have the courage of change, and to ignore the restricting boundaries we and the people surrounding us create."

At least three centuries-old Greek monasteries in the religious enclave of Mount Athos were damaged in an earthquake over the weekend, the culture ministry said Wednesday.

The ministry said the 5.3-magnitude undersea quake that struck Saturday in the northern Halkidiki peninsula had left structural and decorative damage at the 10th-century Xenophontos and Dochiari monasteries, and the 14th-century Simonos Petras monastery.

There were large cracks in church domes at Xenophontos, and further damage to frescoes that had been weakened by a February quake, AFP quoted the ministry as saying.

Similar damages were noted at Dochiari monastery, and more limited at Simonos Petras.

Culture Minister Lina Mendoni in the statement said a team of Greek archaeologists and conservators would remain in the area to complete a damage inspection.

The undersea quake had a depth of just 12.5 kilometers (7.7 miles) and struck northwest of the enclave's administrative capital of Karyes.

An Orthodox spiritual center since 1054, Mount Athos has enjoyed an autonomous statute since Byzantine times.

Known in Greece as the Holy Mountain, the community has around 20 inhabited monasteries, some of whom are over 1,000 years old.
